 Peter Eaton Mouthpiece

I'm looking at purchasing a Peter Eaton mouthpiece and I'm interested to know if anyone has any experience of how they tune on R13's with 66mm barrel? I'm concerned that it will tune nearer 442!

They are very widely used in both UK and abroad both on his clarinets but also very much on Buffet and other makes so not sure why you think it would be a problem.
You of course need the "International" bore model.
In UK the "standard" pitch is generally 440 but of course groups can vary.

Why not phone Peter or drop him an email and get it from the horses mouth.
You could probably get some on trial or depending where you live go and try some.

Played one for years on a set of Prestiges, which are probably close enough, and got several more for students. The tuning was fine at 440. The sound was nice, but wasn't the biggest in the world, but I'd asked for a relatively closed facing, so that might have been my own fault. If you're interested in going English, you might also try Ed Pillinger, which is what I play now. No problem with a big sound there, tuning is great, and it's quite even over the range.
